HIGHER EDUCATION PUBLICATIONS AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The following is a list of publications from various sources throughout higher education. Some are affiliated with a specific organization, while others are not. Depending on the focus, articles or studies related to campus visits, tours, visitor centers, or information centers would be appropriate for any of these publications. Each publication includes a website, which can be used to obtain additional information. Some organizations have more than one publication with a different emphasis. Make sure to send your submission to the most appropriate area(s). Some publications focus more on a scholarly study and some are more suitable for an informative article. Some guidelines have been edited due to length. Be sure to check the website for the most up-to-date information. Most publications will not allow material published in one of their magazines or journals to be published in another publication.

ACPA ? American College Personnel Association



There are three different publications sponsored by ACPA (About Campus, Developments, and Journal of College Student Development). They each have their own emphasis and style.

About Campus

About Campus is a bimonthly magazine for those who want to thoughtfully examine the issues, policies, and practices that influence the learning experiences of college students. Even though About Campus is sponsored by ACPA, it addresses an audience that goes well beyond student affairs to include all those on campus (administrators, faculty, and staff) who are concerned with student learning. To speak effectively to such a broad array of people and to draw them into a discussion of the issues that affect student learning, authors are asked to use strategies such as framing issues quickly and effectively to attract readers' attention, developing ideas and present information clearly and dynamically, and revealing implications of the work for a wide range of educational contexts.

The articles published in About Campus share important discoveries and insights into what makes campuses good places for students to learn and what can be done to make campuses more effective learning environments.

About Campus is not an academic journal. About Campus attempts to reach out to and capture the interest of a broad higher education audience. Thus, the About Campus writing style includes such elements as rich description, character and plot development, and dialogue. The content, while grounded in theory, is communicated in accessible and jargon-free language.

To assist prospective authors, we offer extensive Author Guidelines that specify the focus and length of articles for each department of the magazine, explain the review process, and introduce copyright agreements. If you would like to discuss a manuscript idea for About Campus, contact aboutcampus@uidaho.edu or contact the appropriate department editor.

Journal of College Student Development

Content

Feature Manuscripts: The Journal of College Student Development is interested in feature manuscripts concerning student development, professional development, professional issues, administrative concerns, and creative programs to improve student services. Authors may focus on recent original research, replication of research, reviews of research, graduate education in student affairs, or essays on theoretical, organizational, and professional issues. Both quantitative and qualitative research manuscripts are considered. Manuscripts should address one of the following:

? Support for the extension of knowledge in the area of developmental theory; ? Support for increasing sophistication in the assessment of developmental change and the

factors contributing thereto; ? Support for practitioner efforts to apply theoretical developmental constructs to programs

in the field; or ? Support for increasing our knowledge of organizational behaviors so that effective tactics

and strategies might be applied to the implementation of developmentally focused programs on the campus.

Research in Brief: Articles submitted for the Research in Brief section should report meaningful research that does not require a full-length manuscript. Articles should present research about instruments, methods, or analytical tools which may be helpful to researchers or consumers of research in conducting and understanding student services, student development, and the student affairs profession.

On the Campus: Articles submitted for the On the Campus section should describe new practices, programs, and techniques. Practices reviewed should be related to theory and research. Authors should be able to provide additional background or supplemental information at the request of interested readers.

There are many specifications for Style Guidelines. Check the website for further instructions.

NACAC ? National Association for College Admission Counseling



Journal of College Admission Writer's Guide

The Journal welcomes submissions from admission, guidance, and college counselors, deans and directors of admission and enrollment, researchers, professors, and other interested educators.

Contributions can be in the form of original research, feature articles, letters to the editor, opinion pieces, humorous or anecdotal stories, and book reviews. Pertinent topics include counseling, recruitment, ethics, financial aid, standardized testing, multiculturalism, college athletics, international education, and professional issues, among others. However, the Journal's scope is much broader. As a practitioner or student, your interests and experience can help determine the content of the Journal.

The audience is international and includes NACAC members, as well as schools and university libraries. The association represents more than 9,300 counselors and institutions.

The Journal is abstracted and/or indexed in: Current Journals in Education, Education Index, ERIC-Counseling and Personnel Services Clearinghouse, and Higher Education abstracts.

The Submission Process

All manuscripts are acknowledged upon receipt. Journal submissions are reviewed by an Editorial Board, which consists of seven NACAC members. Board members serve for three years and are appointed based on their involvement with NACAC and their backgrounds in writing.

A decision to accept, conditionally accept or reject is made within eight weeks. A conditional acceptance means that publication is contingent on the author making changes the board suggests. The editor and author work together on the revision so that the final product also meets the author's approval. Due to deadlines, the editor maintains the right to make minor revisions without seeking the writer's approval.

Because of Journal's quarterly publication schedule, and the quantity of manuscripts received, it may be several months before an accepted manuscript is assigned a publication date. However, all articles are published within one year of submission.

Nuts and Bolts

Form Submit manuscripts via email to journal@, as well as via mail or fax (see bottom of page for NACAC address/fax). The editor will need the emailed text before s/he can forward it to the Editorial Board. All text, including references and quotations, should be double-spaced and left justified on the page. Place drawings, tables and charts on separate pages.
